Usually what that means is that the guy is working out a deal with someone off of ebay, but wants the seller protection that ebay offers. So he lists the items with a ludicrously high price that he knows no one else will bid on, and then tells his buyer to 'buy it now' and then, of course, charges him whatever price they originally agreed on.

Someone should buy that, then opt to "send money order". EBay will charge them fees, and there's no proof that the money didn't get there. Sure, he'll say there was no tracking number on the m.o., but the amount of hoops he'll have to jump through to get a refund is amazing. Plus, eBay will take money out of his bank acount, and only give him credit as a refund! He'd be fucked!

That doesn't make sense though. If he's telling the buyer to do a BIN with $1M price, he's gonna get stuck with fees up the wazoo. I can't even imagine how much the listing fee was.

DH the only issue with that is tha ebay would withdraw the funds from the account of the buyer if they have an active paypal account.
